A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

After making all sorts of preparations, the two boarded an international flight and landed directly at Jiangbei Airport in Chongqing.

Chapter 1. Arriving Home

Jinchengzhai Qianye sat by the window, looking out at the city below. Now that night had fallen, the mountain city revealed its "cyberpunk" side. During the day, the mountain city, despite its undulating terrain, was quite ordinary. But once night fell, it displayed its sci-fi side.

"Oh! It's completely different from what I imagined," Jin Chengzhai Qianye exclaimed softly.

Li Wei just smiled and didn't say anything. Most people would feel this way when they go to a completely unfamiliar place, especially since Chongguo has always been demonized internationally. So unless foreigners have been to Chongguo themselves, they will have some prejudice or stereotypes in their hearts.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye had only seen Chongguo on television and the internet. Although she already knew that Chongguo had completed its modernization and become an industrial behemoth, she was still deeply shocked when she saw Chongguo for the first time.

In her view, the colorful, endless skyscrapers below were no less impressive than those in Tokyo. Although Tokyo also has a large number of skyscrapers and some uniquely designed landmarks, the buildings below have a special sense of unity, like a dreamlike forest. The colorful neon lights and the dense traffic on the roads make the whole city look like a giant beast lying on the ground. It is alive and vibrant, unlike the lifeless Tokyo.

Li Wei said, "Many foreigners, especially those from Europe and America, have their previous worldviews overturned when they first set foot on the land of Chongguo. This is because the education and news they received before only told them one thing: Chongguo is a backward and poor place, an evil empire that breeds evil. However, after they leave the country, they will find that they have been deceived by textbooks and news."

Don't be surprised by this. Fraudulent news is rampant abroad. The reason why a certain expert keeps shouting "fake news" is because those biased and arrogant fake news stories have filled the entire Western world. Only those who have gone abroad and seen the world can see the true face of the world. The information that ordinary people in the Western world can receive is actually limited. In addition, with their mysterious pride as "God's children," even if they vaguely know something, they will not admit it until the truth is put in front of them.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Fortunately, I did my homework beforehand and have a fairly good understanding of it. However, what you actually see with your own eyes is far more stunning than what you see in a video. Cameras have their limits, and it is only the human eye that can perfectly record such beautiful scenery."

The plane landed relatively smoothly. Although there was an impact upon landing, neither Li Wei nor Jin Chengzhai Qianye were mortals, so the impact had a negligible effect on them.

After successfully disembarking, the two took a taxi from the underground waiting area outside the airport. Li Wei, speaking in his local dialect which he hadn't used in a long time, told the driver the name of a destination. The journey was smooth, and the two arrived safely at their destination, a large residential complex in Dashiba, Jiangbei District.

Just as Li Wei was in college, his parents decided to move. They used their savings to buy a bigger house, and the renovations were also much more luxurious than their previous one. If the previous house was just something to make do with, this one was truly for enjoying life.

“This place is huge! It feels completely different from Japan. It’s a bit like a ‘housing complex’ in Japan, but the facilities and environment are much better,” Jin Chengzhai Qianye said with a smile.

The so-called "danchi" is a Japanese residential community. In China, gated communities originally consisted of government compounds, while ordinary people generally live in open communities. In Japan, however, most people choose to buy land and build their own houses. The wealthy either buy villas in the city center or luxury apartments; there are no dedicated "communities" in Japan.

During Japan's rapid expansion in the late Showa era, in order to provide housing for young people, the Japanese government built a large number of "apartment buildings" in the surrounding areas within a two-hour drive of Tokyo. These low-rise buildings, with fewer than one floor, are arranged in neat rows, and these are called "danchi," which are similar to open-style residential communities in China.

However, due to the aging population and declining birth rate, most of the housing complexes in Tokyo have become abandoned areas. The people who lived in the housing complexes have moved away one after another, so that these areas have become deserted and uninhabited areas that do not require any additional renovations to be used for filming horror movies.

Li Wei led the girl to a small high-rise building. After entering the access code, the two entered the building and saw the open door on the floor.

At that moment, a still-attractive middle-aged woman came out carrying a bag of trash. When she saw Li Wei, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and the trash bag fell to the ground without her noticing.

"Mom, I'm back," Li Wei said with a smile.

The middle-aged woman rushed up to Li Wei, stopped in front of him, quickly pulled him aside, and whispered, "You brat, why didn't you tell me you were bringing your girlfriend home for the New Year? I haven't prepared anything yet."

Li Wei's mother secretly glanced at Jin Chengzhai Qianye, her eyes filled with undisguised amazement. The girl in front of her was much prettier than those so-called celebrities.

If Jin Chengzhai Qianye was beautiful before, but still within the limits of mortals, then now that she has embarked on the path of cultivation, she possesses the temperament of a cultivator. This extraordinary temperament makes her stand out and leaves a deep impression on everyone who sees her.

Li Wei said, "Mom, don't scare them. Let's go inside and talk."

Because I live in an apartment building, people often go up and down the hallway. Whether they are taking the elevator or walking from the third floor, they will pass by here. So if you chat here, you are likely to be watched by other residents.

My mom said, "Oh, I completely forgot about that. Girl, what country are you from? Can you understand Chinese?"

Hearing the conversation between Li Wei's mother and Li Wei, Jin Chengzhai Qianye felt a little nervous and said, "Auntie, although I am Japanese, I can understand Chinese."

"Wow, this girl speaks Chinese so well, she must have passed level seven in the Chinese proficiency test, right?" Mom smiled, took Jinchengzhai Qianye's hand, and led her into the house.

Li Wei followed behind, dragging two large suitcases, and entered the house with the two people. Although this was his home, he hadn't spent much time here, so he and Jin Chengzhai Qianye were both relatively unfamiliar with the place.

Chapter 1. Parents' Passion

Once inside the house, Li Wei put down his luggage. Because he didn't want to reveal too much of his secret, he didn't put everything into his consciousness space, only storing a small number of important items.

In the past few days, Jin Chengzhai Qianye has begun to make initial contact with magic. Unlike Li Wei, an old hand who can cast spells without the aid of any external objects, she now needs magical artifacts to assist her even when using the smallest spell. However, these magical artifacts are prone to failing security checks.

After all, some ritual implements are made of bone and wood. If the shape is too obvious, people will recognize that they are related to Taoism. These things are not necessarily very sensitive, but they are still very troublesome to pass through security checks.

The old man poked his head out of the kitchen and saw Li Wei bringing a beautiful girl home, his face showing disbelief.

However, just like his mother, he didn't say much. If he were to be too enthusiastic at this time, it would be easy to scare the girl. With that in mind, he tried his best to keep his expression stable.

The mother gestured for the two to sit down, brought out some fruit from the kitchen, and started chatting with Jin Chengzhai Qianye. Faced with Li Wei's enthusiastic mother, Jin Chengzhai Qianye felt a little overwhelmed, but she could sense that the mother meant her no harm, and seemed to regard her as Li Wei's girlfriend. This made her feel shy but also secretly pleased, as it meant that Li Wei's parents had a good impression of her. If she could gain Li Wei's parents' approval, perhaps her relationship with Li Wei could progress further.

Li Wei entered the kitchen, saw his father busy in an apron, and said, "Dad, I'm home."

"It's good to see you back. You were studying in Japan, and I hardly ever saw you except during summer vacation and Chinese New Year. How long are you planning to stay this time?" Dad held a spatula in his hand, skillfully stirring the food in the pot, his demeanor as a domestic cook was completely undeniable.

Li Wei also started helping his father. His cooking skills were absolutely top-notch, and he was quick and efficient, so helping out was very easy for him.

"About a week, after the annual meeting at the ancestral hall, I'll prepare to go back to Japan," Li Wei said.

"I thought you'd stay longer, but you have your own things to do, so just make your own decision. By the way, who is that girl to you? Your girlfriend?" Dad asked curiously.

"It's not official yet, but our relationship definitely goes beyond that of ordinary friends," Li Wei said.

"You're something else, kid. You used to be so aloof about women, there was a time when I even thought you had a problem with your orientation. This girl is really pretty, is she Japanese?" Dad said in a low voice.

“Yes, he’s Japanese. His name is Jinchengzhai Qianye. With that surname, his ancestors were very likely monks,” Li Wei said.

"Monks in Japan can get married and have children, what a playboy! What's this girl like? How much dowry will she ask for? Are there any special customs in her family?" The old man's questions came out in a barrage, he was very concerned about Li Wei's marriage.

"What are you talking about? It's not even a formality yet, why are you worrying about it so early? Don't worry, I'm doing quite well in Japan now, getting married is no problem at all," Li Wei said.

"That's good. Your mother and I aren't forcing you to get married, but your personality is just too withdrawn. It's a blessing to have someone accompany you through life. After all, your mother and I will leave this world before you. If you don't have a family after we're gone, you'll truly be all alone," the old man said with emotion.

Li Wei understood his father's good intentions, but he wasn't afraid of things that ordinary people would worry about. He had already surpassed human limits, attaining the status of immortals and Buddhas, and he also had a vast harem that would make any man envious. The population of the floating island had now reached over ten thousand, each a beautiful and charming woman, and all of them were obedient and considerate to him.

The loneliness that ordinary people fear is not a problem for Li Wei at all. His life can be described as colorful and vibrant. If all his time were sorted out, it would be found that he actually spends most of his time enjoying life on the floating island. The floating island, which exists in his sea of ​​consciousness, is almost frozen in time compared to the outside world. It is precisely because of this that Li Wei can freely enjoy a life on the floating island that even kings cannot enjoy.

Life on the floating island was, to some extent, extravagant and decadent. As the absolute ruler of the floating island, Livy's will was absolutely implemented on the island, so he was never lacking in love.

Li Wei said, "Don't worry, Dad. I'm someone who values ​​myself a lot. How could I let myself fall into that situation? My life in Japan is quite colorful."

The old man said, “I know you have money now, but you can’t just do whatever you want with it. Tokyo is a place of debauchery and debauchery. In a place like that, it’s very easy for someone with money to go astray.”

Li Wei laughed and said, "Dad, I know what you're trying to say. I'm a very particular person. Do you think I would be interested in ordinary, vulgar women? Besides, I also think those old, broken-down cars that have changed hands countless times are dirty."

Li Wei's cultivation method is very special. He doesn't want to give it to those disreputable women. Although some women are forced to earn money through prostitution due to necessity and the pressure of life, most women who do this job, to put it bluntly, simply don't want to earn money standing up. After all, earning money standing up is just too tiring.

The old man said, "It's good that you know your limits. They say if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Those women outside aren't clean either. Be careful not to get red spots all over your body, or mushrooms on your little brother."

Li Wei nodded.

After a flurry of activity, the meal was prepared, and the atmosphere at dinner was quite harmonious. Li Wei's mother regarded Jin Chengzhai Qianye as her future daughter-in-law and took good care of her. Even after dinner, when Li Wei was asked to wash the dishes, the two were still chatting.

Li Wei's senses were very sharp, and he naturally overheard the conversation between the two. They talked about all sorts of things. At first, Jin Chengzhai Qianye was a little reserved, but as they spent more time together, the topics of conversation became more and more casual, and they had long since veered off course into who-knows-where.

It was evening, time to rest, but Li Wei's mother was reluctant to let the girl go. She was very satisfied with the girl; Li Wei's quiet but big news was indeed an unexpected delight for them.

Chapter 1. Nightfall

After the break time, Dad and Mom tacitly returned to their dorm room, leaving Li Wei and Jin Chengzhai Qianye some alone time.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye's face flushed slightly. There used to be a guest room here, but since no guests ever came, it had been converted into a storage room, leaving only the sleeping room. She understood what Li Wei's mother was planning, but in this situation, besides panic, she also felt a sliver of glee. She didn't know why she had such thoughts, and after realizing them, her mind went blank.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said somewhat awkwardly, "Li Weijun, you can sleep next to me tonight."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye watched as Li Wei placed the blankets and pillows on the sofa and quickly stopped him.

"Is that okay? I'm a normal man, aren't you afraid I might do something?" Li Wei laughed.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye felt shy inside, but she remained calm on the surface and said, "Why should I be afraid? My uncle and aunt are right next door. They can hear any noise."

Li Wei inwardly wanted to complain. This silly girl! If her parents really heard those words, they would be overjoyed. Although her parents hadn't forced her to get married and have children, they would still be happy to see her with a partner and a complete family.

Jinchengzhai Qianye continued, "It's so cold outside now. The temperature in the living room is much lower than in the bedroom at night. What if you catch a cold if you sleep on the sofa?"

Jin Chengzhai Qianye was now making conversation to ease her awkwardness. Although they had lived under the same roof in Tokyo, they had slept in separate rooms. Now, however, they were to share a bed, which made her, who had absolutely no experience in this area, feel incredibly shy.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye carried the quilt and pillow back to Li Wei's bedroom, made the bed for him, and cleared out half of the space. The two of them lay down obediently in their respective spots, covered themselves with the quilt, and Li Wei turned off the light, making the room dim.

Just then, the sound of firecrackers came from outside. Although living in an apartment building is very convenient, the noise from firecrackers and firecrackers has the greatest impact on people's lives.

"These naughty kids are still playing with firecrackers at this hour. Looks like they need a little punishment." Li Wei, lying on the bed, raised his right hand and made a mudra.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye only felt the flash of magical light disappear. She vaguely sensed the fluctuation of magical power, but because the gap between her and Li Wei's realm was too great, she did not know what kind of spell Li Wei had released.

A moment later, a huge explosion rang out, followed by the shrill cries of a child.

"Li Weijun, you didn't hurt those children, did you?" Jin Chengzhai Qianye asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's just to scare them. They won't suffer any physical harm," Li Wei said with a smile. Of course, emotional damage can sometimes be just as bad as physical damage.

To be honest, Li Wei really dislikes unruly kids, because behind every unruly kid is an equally ill-mannered parent. Like father, like son; the parents of unruly kids are often no better. Therefore, Li Wei won't hold back when disciplining unruly kids and their parents. For the next few days, these kids who play with firecrackers late at night will experience a huge explosion every thirty minutes, roughly equivalent to a large "Rainbow King" firecracker. This explosion will continue for three days, enough to teach those unruly kids a lesson.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Back when I was in my old home in the countryside, I used to play with firecrackers with the kids, but we always played in places where no one was around, and we would make sure we wouldn't disturb anyone or cause any open flames to burn anything. Kids these days aren't as particular as we were back then."

Li Wei has always been a very particular person, or to put it more elegantly, he has a refined manner. Under his influence, the group of kids from his hometown who used to play with him all tried to imitate his manner, but unfortunately, they only had the form and not the essence.

Li Wei's demeanor stems from his vast knowledge that surpasses that of his peers, as well as the various skills he has mastered. Because he knows so much, he can remain calm and composed when faced with problems. This composure makes him charming.

Of course, Li Wei has now passed through that serious phase. Just as Ultraman might seem a bit childish to elementary school students, it's just right for a grown man in his fifties or sixties. Li Wei has now reached the state of "doing whatever one wants without overstepping the bounds," as Confucius described it, achieving a state of perfect control. It is precisely because of this that his temperament has become increasingly complex and captivating.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "That's right. In Japan, because the laws protecting minors are very strict, many children take advantage of their age to commit all sorts of heinous acts that are hard for adults to believe. Actually, I also really hate bratty kids."

During her time in the country, Jin Chengzhai Qianye experienced school bullying, but she was very "brave" and fought back in her own way, deterring more potential threats. In the small society within the school, she became a "lone beast" type of existence, making others afraid to provoke her.

Li Wei said, "It seems that we agree on this point. Minors do need protection, but if a minor commits a crime, he or she should be punished. Unfortunately, so-called humanitarianism has become the mainstream now. Those legislators use this method to tout themselves as saints, without considering the feelings of the victims. To be honest, it's disgusting."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "This kind of thing is the same everywhere. Adults always say that these children are simple and lively, but these children are often capable of doing things that even adults find cruel."

Li Wei said, "Qianye, you told me before that during your school days, you were ostracized and isolated by the girls in your class. To be honest, it's quite impressive that you were able to maintain yourself and even fight back in that environment. Children of that age during the school days are already no different from adults in some ways. Sometimes, the small society of school is more complex and treacherous than adult society. I've heard that school bullying is very common in Japan, is that true?"

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Yes, students pretend to be well-behaved in front of teachers and parents, but they have their own set of rules when adults can't see them."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye's method for dealing with school bullying is very simple: exercise, fight violence with violence, and know how to use his mobile phone to collect evidence that is in his favor, thus protecting himself.

In an individual's situation, protecting oneself inevitably requires resorting to extreme measures. During her time at the Nationalist school, the "happy education" mentality fostered apathy, so most students were just wasting their time. She genuinely wanted to escape this quagmire. She knew that girls who didn't study hard would eventually face the harsh realities of society after graduation. Her efforts to gain admission to a prestigious university were a way to distance herself from those people and never again have to force herself to associate with such despicable individuals.

After she was admitted to Ocha Girls' Academy, she finally experienced the difference between university and national high school. In such a top-tier institution, students are very busy and work hard for their studies. They have no time to scheme and fight. All they do is study frantically to the extreme. She prefers this environment. Everyone is doing their own thing and does not affect each other. She thinks this environment is great.
